Molly Ticehurst reported her ex to police before he murdered her on bail
She reported Daniel Billings to police for threats; he was freed on bail and murdered her.
Molly Ticehurst pleaded with her ex-boyfriend to 'leave me alone' just weeks before he murdered her. Molly Ticehurst reported Daniel Billings to police two weeks earlier.
Billings faced accusations of domestic violence, sexual assault, and threatening her with death. Billings allegedly told her he would 'cut your head off' and break through her window.
Molly told a friend beforehand: 'If I end up dead he 100% did it.' Billings was released on bail.
Billings broke into her Forbes home in NSW and killed her with a hunting knife on April 21, 2024. Billings admitted killing their dachshund puppy and pleaded guilty to her murder.
Billings will be sentenced Friday in Orange Local Court.
